I suppose the only way to find out if my 06 is covered is to ring BMW!!! That should be fun!
Fuel Pump Controller saga - GOOD NEWS!

Mine's at 10:00 so might see you there on the overlap? I'll be the 'portly' white haired one with the matt black HJC helmet and dark blue dianese jacket.

They say they will only need it for 1/2 hour. Long enough for a coffee biccy and oggle at the stock then
That's about as long as it took for mine at Mottorad Central West today. Went to loosen my H&B upper crash bars but the technician managed the change with them in situ. He said he could do them with his eyes shut now

he said it was and would i like it fitted Saturday morning - couldnt beleive they were expecting me to wait 24 hours between confirming and fitting
only joking - as usual - top service from a top dealer
bet bloody bike conks out on the way tomorrow morning LOL
Massive thanks to Tim Cullis for all his hard work getting this recognized as a very dangerous fault
Finally have a good weekend

Thankfully have not had a problem with mine as yet, although could still happen. Went in to Joe Duffy BMW, Dublin, this afternoon and mentioned that there appeared to be a Europe-wide recall on the GS and GSA for FPC and asked if they could check if mine, a 06 GSA, was on the list. I was informed that it was not a recall, but a service initiative and, surprisingly to me as mine has the grey unit, mine was not a problem bike. Not convinced but hope it lasts.

Glad to be with BMW after a year with the Guzzi Stelvio.

Well done Tim. It's really amazing that you got BMW to do the right thing.

Good on you Tim! Well done.
BTW on my '07 R1200GS ADV I changed out my original grey coloured FPC before a major tour with the new black model (one I bought). The bike had problems on the tour and BMW replaced the new black model that had less than 7,000 km on it with another new black one. So......before you trade in your back-up FPC modules be advised that even the new black ones can fail.

Irish FPC's
Has anyone in Rep of Ireland had a FPC replaced under this process? I have a 06 GS from new and based on Warlocks post I am wondering what is the criteria e.g. frame numbers? If anyone knows could they put it up please?

No Recall On My 55 Plate
I phoned Woolaston Motorrad this morning, and was told there was no recall on my Dec 05 GS?
When I told him they were all to have the black powder coated model, he said it must allready have it - IT HASN'T !

Ring another dealer and see if they say the same thing. Just give them your VIN number and they can check the bike's history

There is something else apart from the black powder coat that identifies if you have a (BMW decided) OK version as my May 08 bike has the silver one and is not part of the recall either.
It's down to statistics I think. BMW will have analysed warranty work and identified batches of FPCs that have the highest failure rates and targeted the bike production runs that were built using them. It's all down to probabilities, just because you have a "silver" one doesn't mean it will fail, just that it's more likely to. (Conversely having a "black" one doesn't mean it will never fail either)......
My May 08 silver one is also outside the recall. 
Mine's April 2007. Replaced last week.
Call BMW ireland and give them your frame number. They'll let you know.

Whilst here in OZ
Mine is a late O7 and is in for a 20,000K service. Asked the service department to check out if BMW have any new info on the FPC. No recall or any new advice has been issued recently.
